This is not a new delivery. It is part of an older deal. Scholz did this as a campaign stunt.

Honestly, was France acting imperialistic in any of its former colonies? I never heard anything bad coming from France’s “allies”, except for that one island that still is under direct french control.

The orange will have a rude awakening if he thinks he can just cut all aid and still dictate to Ukraine what they can and can’t do.

Fingers crossed. Only way Ukraine can now guarantee its own survival.

You could always use lemmy.org

Depending on where you’ll live exactly, look up the local train and bus operator. If you’re in a city, chances are, you won’t even need a car most of the time.

Also get ready to install a different suite of apps. WhatsApp is big in europe, although Signal is obviously preferable when possible.

Go visit hexbear.net/PPB (nsfw) for a good reason why one might want to defederate from them.

I missed the fishing boat bullying russians. I only remember irish fishing boats refusing to when the russians wanted to hold wargames near ireland.

The fearmongering about getting mistreated in ukrainian captivity must be incredibly strong. If my position had been made by drones, I’d either move or surrender, because the 2nd drone is definitely coming.

Another russian ammo dump blowing up.

I no longer see separated up- and downvotes for comments and neither an option to change that in the settings, despite the changelogs mentioning it. Any ideo what’s up with that?

Aren’t those almost always race condition bugs? The debugger slows execution, so the bug won’t appear when debugging.

Kursk be lookin like

But guys, Putin is a reasonable actor! If we ask really really nicely, maybe Ukraine is even allowed to keep Odessa! All they want is for us to stop all military support.

What is there to comment on, other than “figures”?
I recently read about the two women that were suing Russians in Austria for raping them, with one of them claiming, that they shot her husband when he tried to intervene. It was a footnote even in my timeline.
Remeber the outrage, after a gang of men raped an Indian girl in a bus, killing her in the end and beating her male friend unconscious? That story was in the news for months. The cruelty so casually inflicted by the Russian army will take decades to unpack.

You’ll find that most Tesla/SpaceX hacked channels promote shitcoins or some form of “You send me 10 Bitcoin and I’ll send you 20 back” scam. This is because Elon himself is promoting or has promoted dubious coins as well (i.e. Dodgecoin). I think Elon stans are just the perfect blend of tech hypers and technologically illiterate people that would most likely be unable to differentiate between “legitimate” Elon promotion and those scams.

I see what you did there, you sly dog.

Nooo, war with China would be horrible. The chip supply would completely collapse, and then what device will you use to visit NCD?

Tech-savvy people tend to trend left. And with the reddit exodus, only those that cared about API access and privacy left.

It was never a question if those strikes would pay off. The only “roadblock” was always Western politicians being too scared of pictures showing western components in remnants of weapons used on russian soil, fearing Putin would “escalate” somehow. However the last 3 years have shown that Putin can’t escalate any further, if he doesn’t want to provoke a NATO response.
